thank you very much, jim cantore, for that report. >>> look. some of the gas going to jim's turnpike station is refined in the new york area and moved by truck. bull but much of the gas that arrives in new york area comes by barge or tanker. sandy's surge closed the harbor, crimping supplies. it's coming back online slowly. we go to kate kelly for that part of the story. good evening, kate. >> reporter: hi, larry. we're looking at new york harbor where things are gradually coming back to life about a week after the coast guard shut this area down. yesterday, however, they opened the port of new york and new jersey to boats for the first time since saturday with a special aim in mind, bringing gasoline and diesel to new york for a much-needed replenishment of empty fuel stations. there was an influx of barges bringing petroleum products in the afternoon, i'm told, followed by additional traffic this morning. the opening of this harbor and today's news of the jones act waiver are steps in the right directions to replenish gas supplies. officials
